The eyeliner he arranged in the temple also had a somewhat indescribable look on his face.
She knelt in front of the mountain steps to mop the floor and mop the Dharma Protector Jialan statue, showing great piety.
The eyeliner whispered, "She performs Buddhist services in the temple to fulfill her vows. I heard that she comes every year to sweep the floor, wash the Buddha's body, and copy scriptures. She often donates money to repair the temple. She is a good Buddhist person."
I don't even believe this, let alone Liu Ruhai.
He smiled lightly, and the carriage turned to the back door of the mountain temple. He sat in the carriage and pondered: "What do you think of the news in the Hou Mansion? What is the plot of the Qingluo female ghost hiding in the inner house in the name of serious illness?"
Of course he won't be fooled.
"Yes, manager, I heard that there was a Buddha statue in Mrs. Hou's dowry, which is priceless. It is a relic of the former imperial master. It is said that there are some secret cultivation methods of the Nine Transformations of the Netherworld hidden in it, which can make her reach a higher level. I'm afraid she is hiding it in the inner house.
, just to practice in seclusion." Li Shishan left the capital on the surface, but secretly acted as an informer and stared at the Qingluo female ghost. He did not feel that he was overqualified at all, because the Qingluo female ghost was so treacherous and despicable.
"Manager, if she is so forbearing, once she comes out of seclusion, the capital will probably change, and there will be bloodshed and heads rolling."
Liu Ruhai pondered, his eyesight was naturally a hundred times better than Li Shishan's.
She really lost her power.
But he also had doubts.
After all, he had heard about the Buddha statue, but he didn't expect it to be in the hands of Miss Lou Six, Lou Shuluan.
"How about the various military yamen in the capital and Xungui's mansion?"
"There are a lot of discussions in various yamen, and they say anything. Most of them don't believe that she has become a cripple. Even if she is
Some people believe it, but they say that after Song Chengming took over the throne, he gave her poison to dispel her martial arts, imprisoned the beauty, and forced her to become a concubine. She refused to die - "
Liu Ruhai was changing clothes in the car. Hearing the words, his movements froze and he listened dumbly.
Li Baihu was frothing at the mouth when he saw the look on the manager's face. He quickly explained that it was just rumors and unreliable gossip in the spy circle. He laughed and said, "I just thought, she can't really serve the prince in the house."
lady?"
This woman is the Qingluo ghost who has been in the capital for ten years and is known as the number one master in the capital.
Mrs. Marquis Nankang alone is not worthy of personal protection from such a person.
"Maybe it's a lack of money." Liu Ruhai said.
Don't be fooled by Li Shishan's managerial look. She is rich!
Liu Ruhai was silent.
He originally thought so too.
But he was in contact with Cao's father and gave him some fish and meat gifts. Although they were not thin, Cao's father gave him a piece of green cloth and three sets of silk robes, which shocked him.
He was still suspicious in those days, thinking she was here to spy on him and discuss something with him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have entered Cao's house at night.
When he heard her scolding him for not being a serious person while washing the dishes, he knew that Father Cao was careless and seemed to spend a lot of money.
She suspected that he had defrauded her father of his money.
"Keep two bolts of silk at home in the back alley. I can use them."
Even so, when autumn comes and the wild geese go, Liu Ruhai stays at Chengfu Temple for days.
He saw the Qingluo female ghost cleaning fallen leaves, fetching water and splitting leaves in the temple day after day, busy in front of and behind, serving respectfully.
Waiting for the wives of military attachés and military attachés coming and going.
Even Liu Ruhai couldn't help but hesitate.
What is she doing?
Cao Xiwan was also asking herself. She finished sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the Buddhist temple again, dragged the broom back to the house, dusted herself off, and prepared her luggage for home. When she said goodbye, she took the initiative to find Master Huiming:
"Master Tai, I will no longer perform Buddhist services."
"... Donor, you clean the temple, keep incense and change the incense, and guard the lights. These are all for the purpose of accumulating good results. Especially for those who practice martial arts." The master was surprised. In the past, the Qingluo female ghost had committed crimes and wanted to pray to the Buddha in her heart.
, I have been coming to the Buddhist temple to clean the temple when I have time for many years.
She sighed: "I'll sweep the floor for ten days, give me at least twenty cents. I want to save money for retirement."
"..." The master looked at her silently. She looked back solemnly, her medicine was too expensive. The reason why she couldn't sleep well these days was definitely not because of the old incident of killing hundreds of swords. She didn't protect the Marquis at all.
wrong.
Zhan Baidao disguised himself as the Hou Ye's stand-in and tried to murder him, but also deceived her about his feelings. She couldn't sleep well because she was too worried about the lack of money.
She counted the wages for sweeping the floor and went back to the courtyard where she lived in seclusion. She cursed secretly that the nun in the Buddhist temple actually bargained with her and only gave her seventeen cents. She also complained that her master and apprentice had lost all the money they had saved in the past.
Dadu Yuangong, I didn’t have time to take him away, life was too hard.
She stopped and glanced at the inferior guest house next to her.
Gray tiles, green walls, elm doors, and the elegant figure of a scholar in green shirt paused in front of the courtyard door, turned around and smiled, Liu Ruhai cupped his hands and greeted her: "Donor Cao."
"...Mr. Liu."
She thought that the man surnamed Liu first lived next door to her house, and then instigated her father to diagnose her pulse. Now he went to Chengfu Temple and rented a guesthouse, and lived next door to her again.
Naturally, he wanted to see her for something.
She remained calm, turned around and entered the house, closing the door.
There was a figure standing in the shadow in the corner of the room. Someone from the capital's Yamen delivered a message to her.
"Green Lady."
"What's up."
"The Marquis sent Mother Zhao's nephew to the royal palace in the north to serve as a royal guard, and asked Mother Zhao to follow him to Yanjing to look after the old lady's house and provide for her retirement."
She was silent. Someone came from the corner and asked again:
"Mama Zhao said she would come over to thank Madam Qing."
"No, tell her, I have one hundred taels of silver here. You brought it to her."
"Don't worry, young lady, the Marquis has rewarded you with two hundred taels."
"...This is my part. It's different."
Mother Zhao is her companion. Her husband died early and has no children, so she is very strong. She has already given her a settlement allowance privately. But Mother Zhao usually works with her outside as an errand, leading horses and carrying lanterns for her, and is loyal to her.
. She originally promised to get her nephew to work as a captain in the Wucheng Army to find a future. Now, the Marquis has done it for her.
She postponed her return for another two days.
The rumor in the mansion that she was the maid of the Marquis's intercourse might have reached the ears of the new wife. Otherwise, why would the nanny of the mansion not ask anyone else but her when she came to discuss the wedding ceremony?
She was not afraid at first, and the more rumors spread, the sooner she should go back. But she still had two or three confidants accompanying her, and her future depended entirely on the arrangement of the Marquis.
Not to mention that the Marquis wants to marry a new wife, even if the Marquis wants to marry the queen, she has to help him do it, right?
Mr. Hou is a sinister villain, and Mrs. Hou must be too.
she thought angrily.
In the early morning, she sat cross-legged in the monastery hut, twisted beads in front of the scriptures, and finished reading today's lesson "The Medicine King Sutra".
She repented, and she should not have scolded the Marquis.
At least you can't curse behind your back.
The sun rose, illuminating the old wooden lattice windows with light golden colors. She went to the next door and knocked on the door.
Liu Ruhai had been patient, so as not to be abrupt and make her unhappy again.
He expected that she would have to come to him.
But he didn't expect that she would say as soon as they met: "I want to open a medicine shop and you will be the doctor. How about you? I will provide the capital and you will provide the medical skills. I will prescribe seven to three, and I will give you three."
